ACC 3up TT - CANCELLED

Postby Andrew G » Wed May 26, 2010 5:10 pm

To those that had offered their services to assist in running this event thank you very much but unfortunately this has had to be cancelled :( , so you can stay in bed now :D .

[quote]Unfortunately, this event has not proved popular and despite distributing over 200 fliers at 2 time trials and a road race, only 5 team entries were received (and the promise of 3 more) by the closing date - Tuesday 18 May 2010.

It is with regret that we have taken the unpopular decision to cancel the event. This has been agreed after discussion with CTT London South.

I am sure you will appreciate that given the efforts required on behalf of the promoter, marshals etc that to arrange all of this would mean that more helpers than riders would be giving up their time and travel and expense. In addition, the associated costs of running the event, hall hire etc would mean that the club would be making a loss even if there were NO prizes!!

I really would like to reiterate that as a promoter, this is not something that I have come across before, and it was a very difficult decision to take that was not a personal one, but one that has involved a lot of people within Addiscombe Cycling Club and the London South CTT Committee.

I am truly sorry to have to have to disappoint you willing entrants, but I hope that you appreciate the reasons behind the decision, will accept my sincere apologies.

Regards
Paul Tunnell
Addiscombe CC


An odd one as the course is popular and TTTs generally go down well. I believe the thought is that it may be due to it being a holiday weekend and whereas that isn't a problem for solo TTs and entries with the TTT you need to have co-ordinated and commited 3 riders for the day.
